Zoo Eatery & Lounge Botany Junction

Got the appetite of a lion and the thirst of a camel crossing the desert? Get yourself down to the Zoo Eatery’s newest outpost.

Handily located on Ormiston Road, your brood will love spotting the wild animal wall murals. However, polished wooden floorboards and chic lighting make it an equally comfortable habitat for business lunches as family outings.

The food is modern and fresh, showcasing the best of New Zealand’s natural larder. Enjoy sashimi and tasty carpaccio in the raw bar with your choice of salad, sharing plates including blushing beef Wellington, burgers and a selection of lighter nibbles.

Little animals will love the Dino Burgers, all of which come with healthy green leaves and chips, while your appetite will be tamed by the likes of king fish sliders and venison tartare.

If you're looking to combine a fun-loving atmosphere with excellent food, look no further. There is also a much-loved sister restaurant in Henderson.
